YYE do sell TMBR axles. They will be able to fix you up, especially as it was a very recent order.

Sweet! Anyone know what the descriptions are for Maple and Bubinga? Evidently I need the most durable option.

Bubinga is a significantly tougher wood than maple. However, you may notice a drop in responsiveness with it
Also, make sure that the ones sold in YYE fit the Ehknown. Perhaps @edhaponik can tell us.

While we’re talking about axles, does anyone know if the older Tmbr axle sleeves fit no jives?

@adamantiumpops, do you know if yours came with walnut? That’s really a decent choice. Maybe just go with that again. I don’t know what options you’ll get for a replacement from YYE, or TMBR, or @edhaponik, or me (I’ve got a bunch of them).
Just remember if you want to adjust it, you should loosen the caps first. In reality the string gap itself is not adjustable, as it’s set by the center piece of the Woodthread axle system.

Yes it came with walnut. I have fiddled with my Irving plenty, and it needs a little english every now and again to tighten up. Not to close a gap or anything, but just because it comes unscrewed ever so slightly. I didn’t apply any more pressure than I normally do there, but got that immediate crunch that made me want to weep openly in my living room until the dark finally took me.

Been toying with something similar with a dead start Ninja Vanish. But want to turn it into a Ninja Regeneration somehow. Right now my front hop out of the triangle isn’t clean enough for a slick effortless Engineer Whip start. Will try and film it once I figure it out.

Never tried anything like that. Wondering how possible, or more like how difficult, it would be to pop out into a trapeze and then engineer wind up

It is possible, but i find that way more difficult than the brent stole itself lol.

Funny! Not involving a Brent, but this is the Regengineer stuff I was playing with just a bit ago.

I suppose you could swap out the axle if you wanted to play with it now?
Sorry didn’t mean to anoint you with newbie status! Yeah, it’s wood so… If you haven’t had trouble with the Irving, then either you got a bad one, or it got bumped or squeezed or whatever. Walnut is just a nice choice, so I don’t think you should be scared of going with it again.

Thanks! Ed is hooking it up, and I’m using my Irving axle in the interim. This forum is the best.

I am starting to land my kickflips more consistently (~%40+ of the time). I even managed to land 4 in a row today! One thing ive noticed is that getting the trapeze stall to be just right is the most important part. Without the right stall, you wont be able to get the right amount of slack to catch with your finger. This is such a fun trick. I can’t wait to get it down enough to attempt doubles

I’m right with you on this! In ways more satisfying than any 1A trick I know!

Has anyone tried putting a slim C bearing into a Quiz? I already know it would need a shorter axle; can anyone recommend a suitable axle for this?

I wish there was a 3/4 spec, or a 2/3 spec C bearing.
